Hey! I wanted to address one of my recent reviews about the payphone call from the beginning of the story! I honestly don't know why I didn't realize this any sooner and I'm so sorry! Let's just say that maybe Adrien didn't have anymore minutes, but he was able to connect to some random hot spot! Thank you for addressing this and of I plan on reviewing this entire story, I'll try to fix it!

Nino laid in bed watching Alya, who was on the phone with Adrien. She stood leaned up against the window sill, "How is she doing?" Alya looked out the window and started to chew on her nail. "That's good, is she asleep right now?" She continued to bite on her nails and smiled, "Okay, when she wakes up make sure you tell her that I'll visit her in the morning, okay?" She looked towards the door, "We just have Lyla tapped to a chair in the kitchen with duct tape over her mouth. We can figure out what to do with her tomorrow." She paused for Adrien to speak, "Alright. Love ya too, Bye bye." She hung the phone up and walked over to the bed, "Adrien went to visit Marinette."

Nino raised his eyebrow as he remembered what Luka had told him only a few hours ago. He wondered if Alya knew, "How is she?"

She slid under the covers, "She's good, a lot better now. I guess Luka wasn't there when Adrien showed."

He bit his lip, "Did Marinette ever tell you anything about Adrien and her sleeping together?"

"No? Marinette's only ever told me about her and Luka's sex life, why?" She raised her eyebrow realizing that he knew something that she didn't.

Nino laid on his side facing Alya, "When Luka and I were in the catacombs, he told me that Adrien cheated on Kagami with Marinette."

Alya quickly sat up and stared at him, "What?"

"He told me that they originally had a one night stand after they slept together as Chat and Ladybug, but he said that it became more than a one night stand and Kagami found out which led to them breaking up. They continued to sleep together and one night he said that Adrien told Marinette that he loved her and the next morning she said something about it and he just laughed it off." He looked up at his girlfriend.

Alya stared at Nino, "No, that's not what happened at all. Adrien didn't cheat on Kagami with Marinette, it was Lyla. It was only a one night stand, but he ended up saying Marinette's name on accident."

Nino's face was full of pure disgust, "What?"

"I know, I don't even remember how it started." She looked at her phone, "I think Adrien went to a party." Nino didn't say anything, but his face went white, "Whoever he was with had alcohol and he ended up getting drunk. Lyla persuaded him to have sex with her, they did it in some room and he accidentally called Marinette's name. She got all salty and spread the rumor that Marinette and Adrien were sleeping together when we were in high school."

"Oh." He felt embarrassed that he believed Adrien would do something like that.

Alya started to type a message to Adrien, "Luka doesn't like Adrien because Marinette was, and probably still is, crazily in love with Adrien."

…

Adrien's phone dinged and he looked at the message he received from Alya.

Alya:

Just to let you know, Luka told Nino that rumor

about you cheating on Kagami with Marinette.

I guess he said that was the reason why he hates you.

Adrien groaned and started to reply back to Alya.

Adrien:

He's such a prick. Did Nino believe him?

It didn't take long for Alya to reply.

Alya:

Yeah, He brought it up after I hung up the phone.

I told him the truth though, but I would say something

To Luka if I were you.

Adrien:

I will, but not while Marinette's in the hospital.

He locked his phone and looked over at Marinette. She was sleeping on her side facing him, she looked so peaceful. He felt his eyes slowly get heavy and started to rub them. He opened his phone again and opened Tik Tok.

He laughed quietly at some of the ones that were on his for you page. He came across one a fan made about him, he smiled as he watched his edit of him with his fans. He opened the comment section and looked at the comments that everyone wrote about him.

"What are you looking at?" He heard a small voice ask and he looked up to see Marinette looking at him.

"Oh, I was on tik tok and one of my fan edits popped up." He showed her the screen and she saw pictures of him smiling with his fans.

She looked at him and noticed how happy he seemed looking at his fans, "You must love your fans then, huh?"

"Yeah, they are who made me who I am. Of course, I love them." He laughed as he commented on the tik tok how much he loved them and the edit.

Marinette blushed as she thought of what she should answer back, "Did you know that I was a very big fan of yours."

He looked at her, "What?" He chuckled.

"Yeah! This is going to sound so creepy!" She covered her face with her hands as she lightly giggled to herself, "I… I used to have pictures of you all over the wall by my bed back in middle school!"

He laughed, "Oh my god, well if we're gonna spill truth's out. I used to have so many pictures of Ladybug in middle school."

Marinette's face turned bright red, "What?" She managed to squeak out.

He laughed even more, "Yeah, I was in love with Ladybug, or well you, i guess." He scratched the back of his head.

She felt like she was overloaded and she couldn't think of what to say fast enough. It made Adrien slightly nervous, "Um… Yeah, uh…"

"I-I was in love with you too.." She whispered, and thankfully Adrien heard her. She pulled the covers to cover half of her face, "I missed you."

Adrien stared at her, "I missed you too. I'm glad you're okay."

She smiled, "What's America like?"

He laughed, "It's honestly nothing like Paris. I love it there, but Paris is my home. Sometimes I get homesick, but honestly... after everything that happened, I just can't even think about living here."

She frowned, forgetting that Adrien was probably the one person who was affected the most. "I'm glad I got to see you again, I missed your stupid face."

He raised his eyebrow and smirked, "My stupid face?" She started to giggle and it sent butterflies that would flutter about in Adrien's stomach, "Marinette... can I ask you something?"

She raised her eyebrow, "Sure? What is it?"

He leaned forward, "Can I kiss you?"

Her face was bright red, "What?" She leaned away from Adrien. "You want to kiss me?"

Adrien's face turned red as he finally realized what he said, "I… uh."

It got awkwardly quiet in the room, and neither of them said anything. Adrien started to awkwardly move in his chair, "I… uh, I should go." He stood up and Marinette quickly sat up.

"Wait, yeah." She grabbed his arm, realizing that she would either make the worst decision or best decision of her life. Adrien turned around to look at her as she quickly looked away from him. She looked at anything that wasn't him, "You can uh… kiss me."

He stood still for a moment before he fully faced her. She looked up at him and her face was bright red. He leaned forward and grabbed a hold of her cheeks. He moved her towards him and pressed his lips against her soft pink lips.

Marinette's heart was beating so fast as her lips moved with Adrien's in a slow passionate kiss. She closed her eyes and kissed him back with as much passion as he was kissing her.

He leaned back as he stared at her, "Marinette."

"I've loved you since I was 13." She whispered and closed her eyes, "That was the one thing I had always dreamed about since the first night we met."

Adrien was speechless, "Was it as good as you dreamed?"

She smiled, "It was even better." She leaned into his touch and felt so much happiness.

…

Luka sat at his table with a glass of whiskey in his hands, his phone was out in front of him. He ran his fingers through his hair and took a sip out of his glass. He knew that now that Adrien was back, he was probably going to lose Marinette. She would quickly fall for him again, just like how she previously did.

He tried to reduce the expansion of it by telling Nino about the silly old rumor that went around, but he had a feeling it wouldn't work. She was still going to end up with Adrien and he was afraid of it.

His phone lit up and he saw that an unknown caller was calling him. He ignored the call and took another sip from the glass as the call was never answered. He watched as it went away from his screen, only to return again. "Hello?"

"Luka~" He heard a familiar voice whine on the other end of the call, "Come over, I'm bored."

He can already see her finger twirling around her thigh, "Not right now."

"Why, Luka." She sighed, "It's been about a week, have you already gotten bored of me?"

"No, no." He smiled, "Where are you?"

"The Destiney Motel, room 145." She moaned into the phone, "Come quickly."

"Already on my way, Kagami." He hung up the phone and sighed. He had never hoped for this outcome, him constantly cheating on Marinette. He finished his entire glass quickly and slammed it on the table.

He started to feel disgusted with himself and he thought that telling Nino about that silly little rumor would make him feel better, but it didn't. It made him feel worse, because what he was actually doing was real and not something made up.

He got up and walked over to grab his jacket, he made sure to grab his keys as well. He locked the door before he would head to his car and go sleep with the woman he had been cheating on Marinette with for a little over four months.
